Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
3.0
This book... I don't know what to say, really. I'll start with the bad because it's simple and easier to talk about the good: some of the book bored me, and the style of writing lost me more times than I can count. To add to this, being an American means that certain descriptions were completely lost on me; I thought watching my fair share of BBC shows would fill in some gaps, but apparently, Doctor Who and Misfits isn't enough. I thought about DNRing the book about two chapters in...
... but Peter and this world he inhabits is FAR TOO INTERESTING. While a lot of the descriptions escaped me, what I did understand was this complex world with science and magic collide. About half-way through the book, things pick up and I refused to put it down. I wanted to solve the mystery and learn more about the magic and inhabitants of the world. I won't rush to read book two, but I will definitely pick it up at some point. My 3 is a solid three, leaning more positive than negative.
